"..."
Please don't say such terrible words in a calm tone.
Everyone couldn't react for a moment. They really couldn't imagine that such a handsome gentleman would do such a thing.
The criminals He Chirang used this time were all water thieves who committed plunder and committed all kinds of crimes.
They cut the skins of children and women they caught for bargaining chips, attracting fish in the water, and slowly pecked them to death.
Even if he receives a ransom, he will kill the meat ticket and give part of the body to his family for fun.
After these people were brought to justice, they were all sentenced to Ling Chi. Now that they were burned to death, it was an advantage for them. He Zhirang naturally had no burden.
"Actually, rabbits or sheep can be used for comparison, but Master Ren will always be dissatisfied, thinking that the result will be biased if it is not a human. I think about it for him."
Ren Dechuan: "..."
Why do you blame me for what you do? At the moment he refused to speak.
Wu Zuo dissected the body in full view of the public, and it was indeed consistent with what He Chirang said.
Burning after death and burning alive...the details are different.
He Chirang: "If we force three more water thieves to come up, there is no need to fight. Just send two good hands to follow behind and chop them with a knife."
The temple guard brought in two prisoners and loosened the shackles on their feet. The two prisoners were so frightened that they ran forward. The temple guard caught up and killed them with a knife.
The officials and disciples of Dali Temple have long been accustomed to these things. On the contrary, officials from the six departments retreated one after another, and some even vomited on the spot.
Some people were so frightened that they fell to the ground and complained in their hearts that they shouldn't be here today!
Although many of them had human lives on their hands. But most of them deal with servants or civilians, and when they are killed, they are dragged aside and killed.
The one who died now was a vicious bandit. There was so much blood on the ground that I was afraid he would have nightmares at night.
Lin Xi crossed his arms, his expression unchanged throughout the process.
It's just that a few water thieves died, so it's enough to kill them.
It's just that my brother can be killed by others, so why come in person. It's so close, but don't step on blood on your feet.
There are advantages to forming cliques on weekdays. There are people in the six departments including the Queen Mother, Cui Wenyu's cousin, Sun Wei's father...
In addition, the people who believed in the king did not want the prince to live well and wished to cut off his wings. They were very cooperative today.
Now a delicate balance has been reached, and everyone listens to their brother's orders.
After checking, he said: "As the judge said, the prisoner resisted and dodged, and the wounds were flat and of different depths."
Seeing that it was a foregone conclusion, Ren Dechuan quickly distanced himself from the relationship: "The judge is wise, and I am convinced."
He Chirang: "Whether it's a personal relationship or a business matter, you have to find out whether it's true or not."
Ren Dechuan: "..."
He finally figured out that the chief inquisitor hated Shi Bang.
Even the officials who did nothing became resentful. If I had known better, I would not have waded into the muddy waters.
At the moment, the other party is just a general judge, but with the Duke's palace as his back and the emperor's eyes... he will be promoted immediately if nothing happens.
Everyone returned to the court again.
He Chirang looked at the people kneeling in the hall and said in a calm voice: "If you are still not convinced, you will be punished by Dali Temple. The charges are confirmed and cannot be denied."
Shi Bang knew that there was no chance of a comeback. If Dali Temple was punished all over again, there would be no life left.
It's all death anyway, so why bother suffering anymore.
He made up his mind and gritted his teeth and said: "I did kill a good man and take credit. This time I am unlucky. Eighteen years later I will be a good man again."
He Chirang calmly compiled the confession and asked Shi Bang to sign it and sign it on the spot.
He has always been flawless in his work, and now that he has been convicted, there is no chance for this man to stand up again.
Within half a day, no one dared to underestimate the chief judge.
After doing all this, He Chirang pronounced the verdict sonorously and forcefully: "The law says that officers and soldiers are not allowed to kill civilians to repay merit. Violators must pay for their lives. As an official of the imperial court, if you want military merit, you dare not go to the battlefield to kill the enemy." But you kill people and take credit. If you condone such evil deeds, wouldn't it bring down the reputation of the entire court? Only severe punishment can serve as a warning to others."
"The strong military general Shi Bang killed a good man and took advantage of his power to harm the people. All the evidence and evidence are there. He was sentenced to beheaded eight times. The owl leader abandoned the market to appease the public's anger. There is no need to wait for the Queen of Autumn to ask for execution. The execution will be carried out at Caishikou three days later!"
Shi Bang trembled, no longer as arrogant as before, and fainted from fright on the spot.
The case of killing a good person and committing crimes has come to an end.
He Chirang stood up from the chair in the main hall and waved to the temple guards to pull him down.
He actually used a woman similar to his sister to please the prince... he deserved this end.
Xiaoshou's abandonment of the market can also serve as a reminder to everyone.
And after today's trial, if this matter is mentioned, it will no longer be an anecdote between men and women, and it will not affect the woman's reputation.
The first thing that everyone thinks of is the eight-knife punishment used by criminals.
He Chirang originally wanted to take every step in the officialdom steadily, but now he can't.
The situation in the court was so chaotic. The higher and more stable he stood, the more capable he was of protecting his sister.
This beast must die, and the prince... naturally cannot escape unscathed.
——
The criminal was dragged away and several accusers were released in court.
After seeing He Zhirang's methods, several officials hesitated in place, wondering whether they should come forward to talk. Make some connections.
He Chirang passed through the crowd and stopped in front of Lin Xi.
Everyone thought he wanted to comfort their sister, so they couldn't help but prick up their ears.
He Chirang: "Maomao, how do you feel today?"
Lin Xi said seriously: "As a human being, you must abide by the law."
He Chirang: "What if you don't follow it?"
Lin Xi said categorically: "Then it will end badly!"
Her brother still has to come! Seriously, just kill people! It’s not like she has to be sneaky!
He Chirang nodded with satisfaction and said in a gentle voice: "Very good, I didn't come here in vain today, but I learned a lot from it."
A group of officials: "..."
Wait, you use so many bloody things to educate your sister? Is this really okay?
Let’s look at the indifferent young lady from the Duke’s mansion again.
Something’s not right with you either! And he answered clearly! Haha, you are obviously not a good person!
After all, ordinary girls would be frightened and cry when they see what happened today.
He Chirang raised his hands to everyone and said with a humble face: "I have a lot to do with you today, otherwise I really don't know how to proceed with the trial. Then I will go back first. I have been busy all morning. You all should go and have dinner."
Everyone: "..."
Number One Scholar, you are too humble.
The brother and sister walked out of Dali Temple together.
As soon as they walked out of the gate, Mrs. Zhao rushed up to them and kowtowed on the ground: "Thank you, sir, for allowing me to avenge my great revenge and clear the injustice."
Lin Xi looked at her face and still felt it was very subtle.
"She really does... look a lot like me. I don't know if it's a blessing or a curse for you."
Mrs. Zhao raised her head and said with tears in her eyes: "This is of course a blessing, otherwise I wouldn't be able to live until now and wait for the day when the verdict is reversed. Because I look a bit like a young lady, you take special care of me."
He Chirang put his hands behind his back and said in a calm voice: "In this case, I will give you a sum of money so that you and your tribe can live a good life in the future. I hope you will be blessed in the future and there will be no misfortune."
This girl also had a pitiful background and looked similar to her sister, which he couldn't bear even more.
Lin Xi: "You can't go back to your old village. I'm going to write you a letter of introduction. Why don't you go to my friend's place? The mountains are high and the water is far away. You can live a good life under another name. The prince is too busy to take care of himself right now. The sooner you set off, The better.”
It's rare to help someone once, so naturally I will help them to the end.
The friend Lin Xi mentioned was her former comrade-in-arms. He must have been surprised to know that she was still alive after receiving the letter.
The author has something to say:
Thanks to the little angels who voted for me or irrigated the nutrient solution between 2023-06-05 10:15:33~2023-06-05 21:39:43~

Chapter 50
Lin Xi returned to the Duke's Mansion and immediately drafted a letter to Liang Qian.
Ask him to help take care of Miss Zhao and her clan members, and don't let anyone kill them.
A good thing that is rarely done once should not be stopped halfway.
Before the letter was finished, Lu Yan walked in from outside.
He had already heard that the prince imprisoned a woman whose eyes resembled Lin Xi's.
Now when I see this woman in the yard, I am still shocked that she is so similar.
Lu Yan was furious and blurted out: "The prince deserves to die."
"He deserves to die, but there is no rush now." If the prince was killed quickly, wouldn't it be an advantage for Zhongxiao?
Letting these two people torture each other would save her trouble.
Lin Xi had never seen such deep hostility in the other party.
It was as if he was a different person. Surprised, he couldn't help but look up at him.
